The soup was out of this world, the prawn cocktail was so tasty, although a slice of the amazing bread which came with the soup, would have added an extra something. The beef was to die for and without doubt, the best we have ever tasted.

As always food and service was faultless. Staff friendly and efficient. Looking forward to next visit for some more excellent food and service.

Comfortable surroundings with attentive staff. The food was extremely tasty and well prepared. Not a big menu but that does not detract from the different choices that are available. The quality of the wine far exceeds what is available in other establishments. The Merlot was particularly good. We have already booked for next month when… Read more “Dennis, May 2025”

Fantastic Luncheon in the Heart of Lincolnshire A beautiful bar & restaurant setting in the village of South Rauceby, with an attractive beer garden. A very dog friendly pub.

Meal with hubby We celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary. Brilliant place, service and the food was outstanding and full of flavours.

We took part in our first quiz evening at The Bustard and had a thoroughly fabulous evening. Great food and a very well organised and slick quiz. Thank you.

Thank you and the team for another delicious meal. Fillet of beef and all the trimmings is highly recommended. Graham said it was his favourite meal at the Bustard ever!! That’s a real compliment given all the wonderful food we have eaten, Sue.

Absolute fantastic, will defiantly be going again. The food was spot on, friendly staff and they didn’t forget that it was my dad’s birthday on arrival. Roast beef cooked pink (as it should be) vegetables cooked to perfection. Looking forward to the next visit

A fantastic local pub, with seriously good food. Really enjoyed our lunch here and the staff are utterly fantastic. Looking forward to returning.

We haven’t been here for a while so we got a huge welcome on arrival. The standard of service, food and attention to detail is amazing. So many lovely flavours on the plate. Would highly recommend.

One of the most delicious meals we’ve had out in a long time. Fantastic service and the restaurant were super accommodating of us needing to move our reservation slightly later. Can’t recommend enough.

Great Xmas Lunch My wife and I had visited before for Sunday lunch and fancied having our work Christmas lunch here.

Love the ambience and amazing food. The team at the Bustard are fantastic

We thought that we would give Sunday Lunch a try and we were not disappointed. The Roast Beef was perfectly cooked and the Cauliflower Cheese was very cheesy. Our only slight criticism was the mashed Carrot and Swede had a very overpowering herby taste that my husband didn’t like. The Yorkshire pudding was very crispy… Read more “Sue (Tripadvisor), September 2024”

There’s nowhere better. Food that puts a smile on your face.

Love The Bustard Inn 😉 back again on Sunday, even though it’s an hour away from where we live – still worth it…. love the atmosphere and the food has been great every time we have been 🙂

Great pub and the food was first class.

Sunday lunch was delicious and plentiful, we didn’t even have room for pudding! Never mind, we’ve booked again for this Sunday with family.

Beautiful restaurant, our first visit and we certainly be back, superb food and great service, staff could not have been more helpful, thank you.

My wife is japanese and has eaten pub sunday roasts for 27 years now. And honestly said that was the best ever medium rare roast she has ever had. For me the creme Brulee was astonishingly good, I would come again just for that 10/10

Highly recommend a visit. The food was first class, a nice selection of beer and the staff were so welcoming and friendly.

Excellent lunch enjoyed by everyone in our party. Staff so friendly and helpful. Service excellent as always. This a frequent booking for us. Always amazing.

Superb Meal as always, great service,able to book table in the garden for a warm summer evening meal. Everyone enjoyed their starters, meal & dessert. Warm welcome on arrival, would highly recommend.

The most beautiful 3 course Sunday lunch you could wish for. Perfectly prepared and cooked delicious food with excellent service and attention to detail (as always from The Bustard team). A bottle of Tindall is highly recommended (thanks Lesley!)

Our perfect valentines! Every course out of this world. Steaks cooked exactly how we like it and other courses surpassed everything we’ve ever had locally. The service was its usual high standard and the entertainment provided by CH Hatt was exceptional and gave everyone the perfect atmosphere for Valentine’s Day!

Charming country pub – reasonably priced for the high standard of food you are getting. Excellent Sunday roast, great ale. Beautiful beer garden at the front. Staff are the highlight – so warm & attentive.

Great menu with unusual dishes. A lovely venue and wish we lived closer as we would definitely eat here regularly. Our waitress was extremely helpful too.

A really excellent ‘gastro-pub’. Service friendly, with an extra special mention to the younger staff who were polite, efficient and helpful.

Excellent Sunday lunch experience. We always look forward to visiting when visiting family, everyone really looks forward to coming to you. Thank you for making our day so enjoyable for all.

New venue for me and what a great choice. When there is a herb garden outside you know they take their food seriously and our party of 15 were not disappointed.

What a fabulous place… From making the telephone call and booking the table, to leaving the Bustard after a totally fabulous meal this has to be one of our BEST experiences by far.

Another excellent lunch with lovely, smiling staff.

First time we’ve visited The Bustard Inn and it was everything we expected it would be. Relaxing atmosphere and delicious food. Staff really helpful and knowledgable. We will be back soon.

Every course a delight We went to the Bustard Inn last night for our anniversary. The atmosphere, the greeting from the staff and the seating was second to none. The food was absolutely amazing. Difficult choices to be made when ordering. I had to take a picture of each course presented to share with family… Read more “Lorna and David Boyne (Tripadvisor), July 2021”

Rang on the off chance hoping for a table en route from Norfolk to see a friend in Derbyshire and a lovely helpful lady sorted us out.

Friendly, helpful staff from booking a table to paying the final bill. Server was a real comedian, offering me “slightly smaller lunchtime portions” – as if! But good to know. I think she was suggesting I could lose some weight. Yes, the food was excellent, albeit at a slightly higher overall cost than expected, it… Read more “Ralph Bacon (Google), June 2021”

Excellent food and service. We were made to feel very safe, the staff were polite and timely.

The food was absolutely outstandingly good I can honestly say the food was just as good as any of the top restaurants that I’ve eaten in across the globe. If you want wonderful food you need to book you will not be disappointed. Lady who owns it was wonderful we will be back.

We had a really lovely evening with excellent food, and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff worked hard to put everyone at their ease despite the current restrictions. Chef catered well for my husbands food intolerance, and we will definitely return very soon.

Thank you for an absolutely delicious lunch in your beautiful garden. As always you were all friendly but professional and took good care of us. You made us feel comfortable and relaxed and we look forward to our next visit.

A fantastic dining experience with beautifully prepared and presented food. Number one choice for us in Lincolnshire.

We had a delicious roast pork Sunday lunch. The sun was out the garden was a beautiful space for eating al fresco and the service was very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend this lovely village pub.

Vegan options that are far more than an afterthought Two vegan options on the menu – both of which were outstanding; the miso cauliflower steak was off the charts delicious!

We’d been waiting a few months to book lunch here! Today we had a delicious 3-course lunch with good beer. The menu is varied and interesting and the food doesn’t disappoint – well presented and lovely flavours. The owner and staff are professional, efficient and friendly.

We visited on the first day of opening following a lengthy lockdown due to COVID and was very impressed. I would expect a few mistakes after being ‘out of practice’ for such a long time (7 months) but there was none. Every one of the staff were very efficient and things went very smoothly. The… Read more “jubar69 (Tripadvisor), May 2021”

The service was very friendly and the whole ambience was just beautifully done. All Covid precautions were thoughtfully managed and we felt very safe and well looked after.

Had a really lovely evening, thank you! The food was outstanding, the best I’ve had for a long time. Felt very safe Covid wise. Everything had been done that could be, but the service and atmosphere were just as good as always. So glad you’re able to keep going in these difficult times.

Despite Covid restrictions the Bustard provided us with excellent service and contributed to an excellent evening at our local pub.

Great food, great service! Very sensible COVID measures in place. If you’re at all nervous about going to a pub, don’t be!

A really warm reception, excellently attended to and talked through the new COVID restrictions and what and why things are different. Evident a lot of thought, planning, time and effort has gone into that alone. The service was super and the food was the first day of a new menu. The food was exceptional, very… Read more “Kevin Brown, September 2020”

A real touch of class, with some of the most amazing food in the local area.

It is head and shoulders ahead of the competition, and is our guilty pleasure…

Excellent and really delicious food. Staff lovely and service excellent. Carry on doing what you are doing. I would highly recommend The Bustard. 😊😊

We’ve eaten here six times over the past four years and always have a great meal. I think this was my favourite so far, rib-eye steak followed by lemon meringue pie. Delicious food and great service.

Lovely food and staff. Had a gorgeous meal and the staff are so friendly and helpful just added to the lovely evening. Wish it was more Local to me – I would become a regular visitor.

Clean, good food, staff very helpful, didn’t take long for the food to come. It all tasted fab. Well presented. I normally take photos of the food but it looked so good I just had to eat it. Toilets were very clean.

Food was amazing and the staff excellent. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and good local ale.

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Would book again

Highly recommend. Food tasty and service faultless. High standard for pub food, although perhaps a little pricey but worth it for the quality.

Superb food, excellent service and a lovely setting. We will be back soon!

Really lovely place to eat and drink. Well worth a visit. A little more expensive than the norm, however it was well worth the extra expense.

We loved our lunch and the staff were so sweet and friendly. Planning on making another visit.

The vegetarian dish was delicious

Great food as always

Excellent service and fabulous food. Thank you – we will be definitely revisiting

Very welcoming. Excellent service. Our lunch was extremely tasty, very well-presented and more than enough, leaving no room to sample the delicious sounding puddings. Perhaps we will next time, as we will certainly be back. Thank you.

Great place to grab some lunch. I always find the staff really friendly. Food was excellent and priced accordingly. Enjoy!

As always the quality of the food was excellent. I enjoyed the pink roast beef and my daughter was “blown away” by the Mushroom Gnocchi. Bar staff, waitresses couldn’t be more helpful. Lovely place.

Service very good, staff efficient and friendly. Meal excellent, pud to die for. Must be best in area.

Love coming here, weather was lovely so sat outside for a family meal. Service was just as quick and attentive as inside.

Our group of 25 had lunch last Thursday. The food from the gnocchi to the fish and chips to the sticky toffee pudding were outstanding. The staff were welcoming, friendly, efficient and professional. We visited many places in Lincolnshire that day but for many the highlight was lunch at The Bustard Inn.

Me and my partner won a competition on social media for a 3 course meal and from the minute we arrived we received incredible service.

First time to the Bustard Inn – and won’t be the last, the service was great, quality of food fantastic (though a little expensive). No GF option but the chef did effortlessly cater for this and changed a dish to accommodate, very much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Wonderful meal for our 10th wedding anniversary. Wine was lovely, the food was simply outstanding every dish we ordered was faultless, the service was fabulous. Can’t find any faults at all. Highly recommend. Thank you all for such a wonderful evening.
